You're right on with driving in reverse:
Teardrop aerodynamics... in reverse!

With your hatch sloped like that there is a lot of room for a Kammback. My roof extension + rear wheel skirts reduced fuel consumption by 8% at 100km/h (60mph). Your Kammy could be longer than mine, reducing the turbulent wake even more. Have a look at my modding thread for details.

Brucey is right: It's easiest to start with a grille block.
